That would be a good assumption. It maybe that there is a break in the wire somewhere. Usually it's close to where it plugs into the laptop. If that's the case it could be repaired if you or your dad are handy that way. The best way to check it would be with a volt meter or test lite of some sort to see if there's any power reaching the plug. To do this, touch one lead to one contact point on the plug & one to the other. If you have them reversed you will get a negitive reading. No matter, mission accomplished. There is power to the plug. Good luck.

It might well be. You might try his charger on your computer to verify that, but if your charger works on his machine, and his doesn't, that's a fairly good indication.
